[At-Large] Fw: Internet Traffic Exchanges - A Very Successful Model

[Pranesh Prakash]

Ma et al. — and a number of others too — have been looking inefficiencies 
in current peering and transit models (especially ISPs using 
self-interested routing mechanisms such as using the hot-potato algorithm, 
because the cost of doing so do not result in profit, though it benefits 
the system as a whole).
